You need to read the original post again. According to the OP, this was
NOT a slam fire:
On the 2nd round I realigned my sights, slowly pulled the trigger, and all hell broke loose.
This occurred at a deliberate trigger pull, not on the slide closing as the remaining 18 rounds are accounted for:
My FN FiveseveN IOM is a complete loss, the magazine is still inside the grip, the remaining 18 rounds were forced out of the bottom of the magazine.

Talk to them in language that they will understand and respond to. Send them a registered letter with the signature of your lawyer on it.
I guarantee you that will wake them up.

HotGuns is absolutely right on this.
DO NOT return the gun to FN for destruction. It is your
ONLY piece of evidence. If they aren't going to give you a new gun free of charge, you gain
NOTHING by sending them the gun.
